Product Description
Advantage actuator model number
The Advantage actuator is a spring or double acting pneumatic actuator. The actuator model number is
located on the ITT identification tag. The model number is a four digit number defining the actuator as
follows:
A = Advantage Actuator
Mode of Operation
• 1 = Fail Open (spring to open, air to close) (Direct Acting)
• 2 = Fail Close (spring to close, air to open) (Reverse Acting)
• 3 = Double Acting (air to open, air to close)
Actuator Series Size
• 3 (03, 04)
• 5 (05, 06)
• 8 (08, 09)
• 16 (15, 16, 17)
• 33 (32, 33, 34, 35)
• 47 (47, 48)
Values in parentheses are specific spring combinations for fail close actuators.
Series size 3, 5, 8, etc. equates to diaphragm effective area.
Examples:
Model # A308 = double acting actuator series 8
Model # A232 = fail close actuator series 33 with a 32 spring set
Identification tag
Line 1 — Valve serial number
Line 2 — Valve size and model number
Line 3 — Valve diaphragm type
Line 4 — Maximum recommended actuation pressure
Non-sealed and sealed bonnet description
The non-sealed bonnet has a weep hole that permits leakage of the process fluid if the diaphragm
ruptures. The sealed bonnet uses a special “v-notch” vent plug, which permits inspection for diaphragm
rupture.
